My name is Deborah and I have ALS. I have had a hard time saying that now that I know what it is I have been fighting for the last year. I have had tests for the last year and no one could tell me what was going on. I had slurred speech, swallowing problems and problems breathing. I finally went to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville and got my diagnosed on Wednesday of last week.
I am having a hard time with this diagnosis. I guess I am going through the grieving process. I guess I am saying all this to say that I am glad you are here to help me through this.
I have always been an active person, a chef by trade, and also a hard worker at my church. I crochet and have a Yahoo charity group who crochets, knitss and such for charity. I can't stand to think about not being able to do any of these things.
I think I could take not being able to talk (even though I can talk the oink off a pig) more than I can stand to think about not being able to cook or crochet.
Thanks for letting me vent!
